“…Hemoperitoneum accompanying VICC is described rather sporadically (Rathod et al, 2003;Ahn et al, 2007;Diallo et al, 2019). Splenic rupture is then very rare complication (Kang et al, 2014;Lal et al, 2014).…”

“…Hemoperitoneum as a consequence of VICC is a relatively rare complication. Non-traumatic splenic rupture and bleeding after snakebite has been described so far in three cases, of which only in one case initially intact spleen with massive hemoperitoneum and splenectomy necessity, has occurred (Kang et al, 2014;Lal et al, 2014;Lee and Sung, 2019).…”

Coagulopathy with defibrination is one of symptoms accompanying snakebite envenoming, where life-threatening complications such as massive bleeding and organ hematomas formation can occur. Here, we report a case of hemocoagulation failure due to bite by African Great Lakes bush viper Atheris nitschei with impossibility of specific treatment for absence of antivenom and its life-threatening complication: very rare and unexpected atraumatic splenic rupture with massive hemoperitoneum and necessity of urgent splenectomy.

“…These include Hepatitis C virus infection, liver cirrhosis, tuberculosis, AIDS, post-transplant immunodeficiency, intravenous drug abuse, chronic alcoholism, androgenic steroid therapy, corticosteroid therapy, oral contraceptives, advanced malignancies including hematologic malignancies, and hemodialysis. To date, spontaneous rupture of the spleen due to peliosis has been previously described few times in the literature (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16). Peliosis of the spleen has characteristic gross appearance of cystic blood-filled spaces with well-defined margins, commonly involving the red pulp, distributed in a sporadic, clustered, or disseminated pattern.…”

Peliosis is a rare entity that is characterized by cystic or blood-filled spaces in the parenchyma of solid organs. It is most commonly seen in the spleen in patients who also have peliosis hepatis. Isolated splenic peliosis is very rare and spontaneous rupture due to splenic peliosis is even more uncommon. This diagnosis has high importance in forensic pathology as it is a rare cause of atraumatic splenic rupture. We present a case in which the diagnosis of isolated splenic peliosis with massive hemoperitoneum was made at autopsy.

“…Peliosis is a rare entity of unknown etiopathogenesis characterized by multiple cyst-like, blood-filled cavities within parenchymatous organs. 14 Its occurrence has been related to various underlying conditions including infectious diseases, drug toxicity, and malignancies. 15 van Bon et al described a spontaneous splenic rupture due to peliosis in a patient further diagnosed with VEDS.…”

Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (VEDS) is a rare autosomal dominant collagen vascular disorder. Different from other Ehler-Danlos Syndrome subtypes, VEDS has poor prognosis due to severe fragility of connective tissues and association with life-threatening vascular and gastrointestinal complications. Spontaneous splenic rupture is a rare but hazardous complication related to this syndrome. To date, only 2 cases have been reported in the literature. Here we present another case of this uncommon complication, occurring in a 54-year-old woman in clinical follow-up for VEDS who presented with sudden onset of abdominal pain and hypotension.
